The wife and I have spent the last couple of months remodeling our master bathroom. Well, not us personally, but the people we hired. Our house was built in 1994, and the master bath was mostly original with ugly brass fixtures, 4" white tile, and a giant jacuzzi tub that we never used. At some point one of the previous homeowners had undertaken a minor reno, and replaced the floor tile, tiled the vanity countertop, and painted the walls and vanity. Unfortunately, they did it very cheaply -- the floor tile was nice, but the install job was terrible with uneven tiles, cracking/sandy grout, and loose tiles in spots. The vanity counter top was even worse (who wants a tile countertop anyway?) with uneven cuts, sharp/unfinished edges, and a couple of the tiles had actually fallen off. The paint was poorly done, with the equivalent of overspray where they'd accidentally painted the ceiling/door jambs/etc. All of the brass fixtures were started to get that worn/green scum look to them. So the wife and I were just tired of it. Here's the before shots:
We forgot to take a complete set of pictures before we started demo, so it's kind of hard to get a feel for the layout. These are from when we first moved in two years ago, but not much had changed between now and when we started this project.
